Bill is a local Bay Area boy having grown up in San Bruno, while Tammy is  a Southern Californian girl who hails from "Beautiful Downtown Burbank." Their paths first crossed while volunteering as amateur radio operators, supporting the Fremont PD in the Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay.

Bill is a self described tinkerer, dipping his toe into various electronics projects, amateur radio fox hunting, welding, sheet metal work, and vehicle modifications which include secondary electrical systems and overhead radio consoles. Tammy enjoys photography and spent her summers as a youth traveling with the carnival.

Five years after they first met Bill finally got around to asking Tammy for a date and the rest as they say is history. They enjoy traveling with a favorite destination of the National Parks. Of course their explorations frequently involve small dashed lines on the map indicating four wheel drive trails, aka the Lesser Known Path.
